VLC - remove dependencies

Hello,

The graphical interface for VLC is no more supported on SliTaz.

==> I don't need VLC anymore and want to remove it.

I know how to remove the package vlc but I don't know if it's a good/bad idea to remove dependecies:

gcc83-lib-base

libQtCore

libQtGui

libvlc

How can I verify that some other packages need these dependencies?

Thank you

And

$ tazpkg list

Hi R8,

[c]tazpkg rdepends gcc83-lib-base[/c]

returns the list of the packages using gcc83-lib-base.

Use the same command for the other packages.

[c]tazpkg -r[/c] <package-name>, from a terminal, will also prompt you if you try to remove a package that is a dependency of an other.

Hi Bellard and Ceel

Thank you for your answers.

Why Firefox uses VLC?
